Speaking about the group, Janet Harrison, chair of Kenilworth and Warwick Trefoil Guild, said: “Several of our members have been leaders in Guiding, but others just heard about us through friends or family and decided to join us to make new friends and participate in our activities.
“You do not need to have ever been involved in Guiding to be a member.
“We enjoy a varied programme of monthly meetings plus other events and outings throughout the year.

“We join with other Guilds across the region at interesting get-togethers, and also join local Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers (or Scouts) at some of their events.
“We support the girls in various ways, including passing on our skills and knowledge and especially helping those who are fundraising to go to international events.
“We are still going strong after 50 years so we must be doing something right.”
